[D 306-310] Dublin to Duffy

Today: A future Starfleet Corps of Engineers personnel? THE ENTRIES: [306] Dublin [307] Duchamps [308] duck blind [309] "Duet" (no card required) [310] Duffy, Lieutenant Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [306] Just a fun one. Yes, O'Brien Founder and the Romulan Chief O'Brien are affected. "Potential requirement" means they're not a must, just a possibility, as if an "OR an O'Brien" had been added to the card. Source: Referenced in "Homefront" [307] IS a personna of Worf (following a pattern I set with Honey Bare), but Worf cannot be switched with Duchamps where a hologram could not exist. Decipher also took this tack when they produced their version in Holodeck Adventures (included for comparison). Source: "Our Man Bashir" [308] A 5-point bonus and a way around one of the rarer skills, unless you're using it to hide your personnel from attack?

Today: Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone! THE ENTRIES: [301] Drovana, IKS [302] "Drumhead, The" (no card required) [303] DS9 (no card required) [304] dualitic inverter [305] Duana NOTES:  [301] The Encyclopedia refers to it as the Drovna. Mine Disputed Region is an AtoZ objective [A212] . Source: "Sons of Mogh" [302] Already exists as Drumhead, a space dilemma from the Blaze of Glory expansion. [303] Exists as the Deep Space Nine expansion's station's Deep Space 9. [304] Sorry, Borg Cube points need not apply. Source: Referenced in "Starship Down" (chosen because it looks like a sonic screwdriver and the card "reversing the polarity" like it's Doctor Who) [305] Source: "When The Bough Breaks" Next up: A future Starfleet Corps of Engineers personnel? Cards: IKS Drovana, Dualitic Inverter, Duana

[D 296-300] Dreon to Drofo Awa

Misbehaving in the 23rd century... THE ENTRIES: [296] Dreon VII (no card required) [297] dresci [298] Drex [299] driver coil assembly [300] Drofo Awa NOTES:  [296] Exists as Deep Space Nine mission Deliver Supplies. [297] Allows for bringing the Romulan Ale or whatnot to different locations. When the countdown ends, the Food card is discarded and does not return to your hand. Food card can stay in the Canteen even if unattended. Source: "Final Mission" [298] Source: "The Way of the Warrior" [299] An automatic stopper of shuttles and other small ships. Source: "Parturition" (with added effect) [300] Matching commander for the Xepolite Freighter. Source: "The Maquis, Part II" Next up: Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!

[D 291-295] Dreadnought to Drema IV

A powerful Cardassian ship... THE ENTRIES: [291] Dreadnought [292] "Dreadnought" [293] Dream of the Fire, The [294] drechtal beam [295] Drema IV (no card required) NOTES:  [291] The Dreadnought has no natural weapons, though weapon enhancements can add them. It is destroyed if it crashlands. It CAN hold a crew, just doesn't need one. Source: "Dreadnought" [292] A commandeered "weapon" must be recommandeered by your opponent if he wants control back. You may disable the ship or use it as your own, or even use it and leave it disabled. Attack Satellite is an AtoZ card, as is Weapons Platform, though in that case, it'll be in Broken Links. Source: "Dreadnought" [293] A new-born Klingon can use all Klingon-specific cards. Its species changes, not its affiliation. A fully-staffed K'Ratak only has one personnel aboard (with a Staff or equivalent Command icon). Source: "The Measure of a Man" [294] The first function can play havoc ...

[D 286-290] Drayan to Drazman

Today: One of the most boring personnel... THE ENTRIES: [286] Drayan II [287] Drayans [288] Draygo IV [289] Draylon II [290] Drazman, Admiral NOTES:  [286] The "elder" Drayans in AtoZ all have Youth. Source: "Innocence" [287] At once a reference to the Voyager episode "Innocence" and TNG's "Too Short a Season" in which Admiral Jamison made himself younger through the drug found on Cerebus II (Extraction). With two of these, you can kill any one personnel there. Source: "Innocence" [288] NOT in the DMZ, but close to the Cardassian border. Source: "Homeward" [289] That last requirement means your opponent must have 10+ points more than you do to solve the mission. Source: "Sanctuary" [290] Sorry about the drone joke. A "stopped" Rogue Borg may not attack that turn, but is not discarded. Calvin Hutchinson is the other boring "droner" in Star Trek. I'm sure these two would have a great time to...

[D 281-285] Drake to Drathan

Do they have pets in the Mirror universe? THE ENTRIES: [281] Drake, USS [282] Draken IV [283] Drakian Forest dwellers [284] "Dramatis Personae" [285] Drathan puppy lig Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [281] A ship with a holographic matching commander. Even if universal, multiple Paul Rices will not make Captain's Log cumulative. Source: Referenced in "The Arsenal of Freedom"; pic from Decipher's card, which didn't come out until All Good Things (included for comparison). [282] Unificationists are listed as part of the Unification movement or Romulan underground in their lores. Source: Referenced in "Face of the Enemy" [283] Yes, I consider Eris a paranormal even if her card fails to mention her telekinetic abilities. You can play this event on yourself (favoring the *can* report ability) or on your opponent (favoring the *must* report ability). Also makes reporting to ships and sites impossible regardless of game text. Source: ...

[D 276-280] Drafting to Drake

Harry Kim becomes a commander... THE ENTRIES: [276] Drafting Room 5 [277] drag coefficient [278] Draim [279] Drake equation [280] Drake, shuttlecraft NOTES:   [276] You can download a hologram to a planet only if 1) you have a Holodeck on a ship at that spaceline location, and 2) Holo-Projectors is in play. Source: "Booby Trap" [277] Different effects depending on the mission location. Since there's no drag coefficient in normal empty space, the drag must be a malfunction in the sensors, thus the second effect. Source: "Imaginary Friend" [278] The green nemesis icon is opposite Arissa's. He is affected by his own attribute boost. Source: Referenced in "A Simple Investigation"; pic based on the slaver from "The Cage" [279] Affects both players, so be careful with this one. "Matching" is a very strict term, meaning that only NA personnel could report for free at the Husnock Outpost, and only Neutral personnel could report to a Ter...

[D 271-275] Dozarin to Draebidium

Q gets randy... THE ENTRIES: [271] Dozaria (no card required) [272] Drabian love sonnet [273] Draco lizards [274] Draebidium calimus [275] Draebidium froctus NOTES:   [271] Exists as the Deep Space Nine mission Search for Survivors. [272] The Borg are naturally immune to this. Source: "The Q and the Grey" [273] Stops abuse of some of the more battle-heavy universal AtoZ animals. Source: "New Ground" [274] A Ressikan Flute for Youth (who get quite a boost in AtoZ). The Event stays even if the Botanist (as listed in personnel lore) leaves or Rascals is cured. Source: "Rascals" [275] This can be played every time a dilemma says of a selection, "opponent's choice" (on your own personnel) or "your choice" (as encountered by their personnel). Random selections are unaffected. Source: "Rascals" Next up: Harry Kim becomes a commander. Cards: Q in Love, Extinct Species, Seeding, Common Mistake

[D 266-270] Dorvan V to Doyle

 A dual-personnel, a new magic bullet, and a key holoprogram... THE ENTRIES: [266] Dorvan V (no card required) [267] Dosi [268] Douwd [269] Down the River Light [270] Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [266] Exists as the Basic Set mission Evacuation. [267] A Dominion dual-personnel card. Source: "Rules of Acquisition" [268] If the game text makes it clear that it must be in play, then it is, countdowns and all. Objectives are not affected. Source: "The Survivors" [269] Screwed up on this one by calling the Caster card Down the River Light. Hadn't expected it here, so I had to do something else. More of a self-seed, but also an odd filter. Source: Referenced in "Nor the Battle to the Strong" [270] Moriarty is only worth points while the Program is active. If deactivated and later reactivated at the same Holodeck, the points are still good. Moriarty, of course, can leave with Holo-Projectors or the Holo-Emitter. Decip...

[D 261-265] Doraf I to Dorias Cluster

Mostly missions and dilemmas... THE ENTRIES: [261] Doraf I [262] dorak [263] Dorek syndrome [264] Dorian [265] Dorias Cluster NOTES:  [261] The download is only on your side and you need not solve the mission to make the download. Supersedes the rule that Terraforming Station must be seeded. Source: "Unification I" [262] The one card draw is mandatory. The second card draw (if Acquisition present) is optional. An Equipment card is not a requirement. Source: "Thine Own Self" [263] The MEDICAL personnel cannot have the two listed skills. Points are scored when the Ferengi dies by its owner. Source: "Body Parts" [264] New Counselor is in AtoZ. Source: "Man of the People" [265] The trick is getting that Ferengi to that location at the appropriate time. How about stealing the mission DURING an opponent's mission attempt? Source: "Bloodlines" Next up: A dual-personnel, a new magic bullet, and a key holoprogram. Cards: Terraforming Project...

[D 256-260] Dominion to Dopterians

More Dominion stuff... THE ENTRIES: [256] Dominion [257] Donaldson [258] Doosodarians [259] Dopa system [260] Dopterians NOTES:  [256] The Objective in no way forbids the Dominion from infiltrating, using Invasive Transporters or Commandeering ships so long as they don't initiate battle. If you're using more than one affiliation, your captives may still go to the Brig of your unnamed affiliation without breaking the "treaty". Source: Referenced in "By Inferno's Light" [257] The Soliton Wave will feature in Broken Links. Source: "New Ground" [258] Nullifies such cards as Klingon Death Yell. You may need to speak to, for example, state a target for a card, but that doesn't fall under the heading of "speaking certain words". Interrogation, Guilty-Provisionally and Devidian Door count. Source: Referenced in "Interface" [259] Legate Damar, with his Honor, only needs a strong ship to score an easy 35 points. Source: Referenced...
